Official announcement outlining the situation has replaced the homepage on the FlyBMI website: https://www.flybmi.com/en
Seems their website isn’t responding well. Content was exactly as posted by JimEddie above...

This is the BA/BAEC board. I think you meant to post this in the Other European Airlines board?

That's true, but that's a real link to the past for me that has now gone. It's a real shame and there's going to be nothing left in a very few years. I think they are all at risk: Flybe, Air Dolomiti, maybe even SUN-AIR (because this latter are flying those graveyard routes in Germany that Intersky and VLM flew). Possibly CityJet made a crafty move by just becoming whatever it is now, a leasing airline with no marketed flights of its own.
